Leodegaria is a woman of 48, and is married to Oscar who is a farmer. They have seven children, but now none of them live with them, so they only support the two of them.

Leodegaria sells food and has her business in her home. Sometimes when they pay assistance to low-income families, she goes to sell at the place where they request it. This is how she has been in her business for a year.

She needs to have a varied menu, and intends to buy more supplies for preparing food, such as tomatoes, onion, meat, dishes and other things. This is what she will use her loan for.

Leodegaria is one of ten members of the "El Clavel" group. Each one of the activities done by the members is cited next.

Additional Information

This is a Group Loan

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
